Partner with Cyclesite
Most bicycle data describes models. We hold a record for individual bikes: the frame number, whether it has been reported stolen, what it is worth, and what has happened to it over time.
We are a specialist UK business, not a large one. We think you should know the scale before you talk to us rather than after. These are real counts as of July 2026.
The record
A record for the bike, not the model.
Four things, held against one frame number and built up over time.
Frame identity
A persistent record for an individual bicycle, keyed to its frame number and built up over time rather than reset at every sale.
Theft status
Frame numbers checked against multiple stolen bike databases, with the confidence of each result and which sources responded.
Valuation and residuals
What a given bike is worth today and how its value has moved, from tens of thousands of real valuations rather than list prices.
Service and ownership history
Work carried out, condition over time and changes of owner, attached to the bike rather than to an account.
By sector
What we can offer you
If that record is useful to your business, we would like to hear from you. Pick the section that fits. If none of them quite do, write to us anyway and describe the problem.
Insurers and brokers
Cycle insurance, home contents, specialist schemes, underwriters and claims handlers
Price and settle bike policies against real market data instead of retail price lists, and verify a frame number before you put it on cover.
- Valuation API for new business pricing and claims settlement
- Frame number verification at quote and at claim
- Theft status and reported theft history by frame number
- Residual value curves by brand, model and age for reserving
- Replacement cost that reflects the second hand market, not RRP
- Shared theft intelligence: your reported thefts checked by our users
Cycle to Work providers
Scheme operators, salary sacrifice administrators, bike finance and leasing providers
End of scheme valuations are a number you have to defend. We can give you a market based figure for the specific bike rather than a flat percentage table.
- End of scheme fair market value per bike, not per price band
- Evidence trail behind every figure, for HMRC and for the employee
- Bulk valuation for a whole scheme population
- Ownership transfer recorded when the employee takes the bike on
- Frame registration so the rider keeps a record after the scheme ends
- A resale route for bikes handed back at scheme end
Bike shops and workshops
Independent bike shops, service centres, workshops, mobile mechanics
Attach the work you do to the bike itself. The record follows the bike to its next owner, and your name stays on it.
- Free service record keeping, with the history attached to the bike
- Trade-in valuations at the counter
- Frame number checked before you take a bike in part exchange
- Verified retailer listings on the marketplace
- Your workshop credited on every bike you have serviced
- Point of sale integration where your system supports it
Manufacturers and distributors
Bike brands, component makers, importers, direct to consumer
The second hand value of your bikes decides what buyers will pay new. We can show you what that number is and help you support it.
- Residual value reporting for your range against comparable brands
- Certified pre-owned infrastructure for your dealer network
- Demand signal: what people search, value and enquire about
- Warranty and recall reach through registered frame numbers
- Trade-in and buy-back programme support
- Battery health records for e-bikes, ahead of digital passport rules
Marketplaces and platforms
Classifieds, auction sites, hire, rental and subscription fleets
You have a stolen goods problem you did not ask for. We will check frame numbers for you rather than compete with you for listings.
- Frame number verification by API, white labelled if you prefer
- Valuation and price guidance on your own listings
- Bulk checking for existing inventory
- Fleet records for rental, subscription and hire operations
- Straightforward per query pricing with no exclusivity clause
Media, researchers and developers
Journalists, academics, researchers, product and data teams
Our market data is free to cite and free to build on. We would rather be the number people quote than keep it behind a login.
- Bike price and depreciation data, free to quote with attribution
- Theft trend data by region and bike type
- Named contact for data questions and fact checking
- Public API and MCP server for building on top of the data
- Custom extracts for genuine research
What happens next
How a partnership starts
Tell us the problem
One email describing what you are trying to do. No form, no discovery process.
We show you real data
A sample against your own frame numbers or your own bikes, so you can judge the quality yourself rather than take our word for it.
A small paid pilot
Priced so it is easy to stop. If it does not work for you we would rather find out in a month than a year.
Become a partner
Tell us what you need
A sentence or two is plenty. A real person reads it and you will get a reply.
- Who sees this
- It goes to our inbox, not a queue. There is no sales team to route it through.
- What comes back
- A straight answer on whether we can do what you need, and a sample against your own data if we can.
- What it costs to find out
- Nothing. Pilots are paid and priced so they are easy to stop.
